Certified Tutors From Illinois Institute of Technology

...a decade of experience with professors, homework, and tests. And I've been tutoring since the beginning of my college career. I teach for the same reason that I learn - I enjoy it. Every student learns differently, and so everyone I teach pushes me to learn the material in a new way.

...language as well as culture to the people who want to learn. All my friends who learnt Chinese from me are impressed by my funny interactive teaching style and profound knowledge. A language is not only about words and grammar, but also a culture, especially for Chinese Language with thousand years of continuous history. I...

...prepared and presented workshops on specific subject areas in organic chemistry. I also received a top tutor award based on student ratings and working habits. Outside of that I have helped students in Genetics, General Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics and a list of other classes. I like to engage students in the learning process and give...

...some algebra, grade school pre-algebra and trigonometry. In fact, I used mastery of math to create online knitting patterns to create custom hand knit sock patterns. To see simply applications of math to knitting visit my old hobby blog, http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/530 . While knitting is probably not your hobby, I can generally find applications that can...

I have been a tutor at multiple colleges and universities for about 4 years. My students have appreciated my efforts in helping them with their classes and that motivates me to continue tutoring.... To make a student understand something, you have to approach the problem from student's point of view. So, its very important to know how does a student understand the problem.

...experience has been rewarding, as I have had the opportunity to meet many students with diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. It's my goal as a tutor to help students grasp the concepts and learn how to apply them, rather than simply accumulate information. I believe in students capabilities to learn and excel in math. During...

...writing, grammar, vocabulary, math, social studies, and ESL. I have also taught tutors how to teach literacy to adults. My teaching approach is to gently guide the student toward discovery and understanding of concepts through modeling, breaking down the process into steps, lots of practice -- and fun breaks when needed! I have found that...

...math and was a mentor for incoming freshmen at IIT. I was able to take a group of 6-12 freshmen on tours of Chicago while teaching them the importance of sketching and assisting with any other subjects with which they needed guidance. I believe that if we aren't having fun we are doing it wrong....

...only present one method of solving a problem. Not every student can solve a problem using the same method; I have become aware of this as many of classmates and I will receive the same answer to a problem, but would have arrived by different methods. Because of this, I believe a student, best, comprehends...

...much less understand the material.I like tutoring students because I can help make the learning process easier, and perhaps enjoyable. I don't think it is beneficial to struggle for hours just trying to get an answer to a question. Instead, I think there is added value in having someone help you through a problem to...

...range of subjects during high school such as Math, Physics and Chemistry, I am most passionate about Math, Calculus, and Geometry. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Math and Physics, I try to explain difficult definitions and solutions in an understandable easy way. I don't generally give direct solution, rather motivate students by...

...Geometry. I enjoy teaching mathematics because it was the one subject I could always explain how to do to anyone. I have been tutoring for about 10 years. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to get to know many different students from many different walks of life. I feel that tutoring has helped me...

...exam, studying advanced calculus and probability theory. I began tutoring in 2013 while working on my bachelor's degree, and have been doing so ever since. I have tutored several students in a variety of subjects in math and physics, from algebra 1 up through college level calculus, including ACT test prep. Working one on one...

...example of what it is known as a "growth mindset," which is the idea that intelligence is not fixed, but rather can be improved with persistence, as shown by the research of Prof. Carol Dweck (Stanford). Thus, as a tutor I encourage my students to challenge themselves, as struggling with difficult problems is a crucial...

...I teach myself material, and will facilitate students learning independently in the future. In June 2015 I graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry. I am currently pursuing a Master in Chemical Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, with an expected graduation date of May 2017. My favorite subjects to teach are...

...or even notecards. So there is always an approach to making the material easier to understand. Learning should be fun at the same time. The teachers that stood out to me never failed to make whatever they were teaching enjoyable for the whole class. And that is what I believe is very important. If there...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...

...technology to visualize them. I have prepared students for IB and SAT and tutored Mathematics, Statistics, Chemistry, Engineering, Physics and Computer Science on various levels. Even though my tutoring experience is very extensive, I love teaching physics and calculus. It's something I have to use in my everyday life as a research assistant and I...

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. Colin Powell... Put the student at ease, start off by introducing myself, tell them about my background, and explain why I love their subject.

...many things...an engineer, a mother of 2, crochet artist, amateur gardener, Taekwondo martial artist, all around fun chick. I enjoy helping people and math, so what better combination than math tutor. There's no such thing as a dumb question, so if you don't know...please ask. If I don't know, I might know someone that does.
